Lots of interesting things have started to flower in the meadow and so very excitedly today I grabbed the camera and had a poke about to see what i could find! Photos below…..
Giant scabious – Cephalaria gigantea
The giant scabious above is also now available as a postcard from the Strawberry Hill House shop, with all money raised going towards funding our next garden apprentice.
Yellow toadflax – Linaria vulgaris
Greater stitchwort – Stellaria holostea
Bird’s foot trefoil – Lotus corniculatus
Ragged robin – Lychnis flos-cuculi
Fox and cubs – Pilosella aurantiaca
Field poppy – Papaver rhoeas
Cocksfoot – Dactylis glomerata
Good old dandelion!
A very brief wander through led to the identification of 15 different grass species, without even looking closely! Exciting times!
Check back soon as we will add more photos as the rest of the plants begin to come into their own.
